    had issues with ammonia near 4.0ppm, did a cartridge carbon change in one filter and put ammonia remover in my aquaclear. Now my water is somewhat cloudy, what caused this and will it go away on its own.my pH is still at 7.6 and not budging even using the ph lowerer.:confused:

    Is this a new tank? Is it freshwater or saltwater?
